Fabulous evening with @lucyportercomic.bsky.social at The Ropetackle in Shoreham. What an authentic, warm, open, friendly woman. She was also very funny indeed. Thanks so much!

I was going to tell you a joke about sodium, but then I thought, “Na.”

Articulated Porcelain - Delft Variations 01
#art #aiart #surrealism #insectart
The image features a porcelain figurine with an articulated design, merging a doll's upper body and a crab's lower body. The doll has a delicate facial expression with rosy cheeks and styled blonde hair, dressed in a traditional blue and white Delft porcelain gown adorned with floral patterns. The crab-like lower body consists of segmented carapace and eight articulated legs, each ending in sharp claws, showcasing a glossy finish. The composition is placed on a smooth white surface that enhances the figurine's vibrant colors and intricate details.

Detail of drawing above, collaging in a section from an old, linen backed Bartholomew’s map, showing (or buried in this case), the exact location of Merrivale Stones, Dartmoor.

Gesso, charcoal, chalk, graphite.

Another drawing in the body of work inspired by bleak Dartmoor, the ancient stones and determined grasses.

It's the Seasonal Reposting Competition! Repost this over the weekend, and one lucky person will get a free signed copy of one of my books. For you or the #crossword addict in your life: 50 @guardian #puzzles and the stories behind them:
boatmancryptics.co.uk/crossword-bo...
Boatman - the first 50 is a great holiday read, exemplified by this image of the book opened to show the story behind the Shipping Forecast puzzle, on display on Brighton beach. Reviewing Boatman - the first 50, Alan Connor (the Guardian's new crossword editor) says: "This is one to savour. Boatman's puzzles are witty and ingenious. It is an extraordinary pleasure to read how his unique mind works. The first 50 is a book I never knew I needed in my life. Gift it to yourself and to the word-lovers in yours" and Hugh Stephenson (his predecessor) says: "This is a unique book of crosswords". Boatman - the second 50 contains another 50 puzzles from The Guardian, with five bonus puzzles previously only available online and including puzzles, solutions and the ideas and stories behind them, exemplified by this image of the book opened to show one of the stories, which is accompanied by a picture of a large cow. Reviewing Boatman - the second 50, Gyles Brandreth says: "If you want a fiendish crossword, you want the best - which means you want Boatman, because he is the best" and Brian Bilston says: "Cracking crosswords - each puzzle a delightful daily workout for the brain and a welcome tonic for the soul".
